Challenge: Candid IV (Advanced Editing V)
Camera: Canon EOS-30D
Lens: Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM

Aperture: f9.0
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1000
Galleries: Landscape, Candid
Date Uploaded: Jun 10, 2007

 Few meters below the summit of Iceland highest peak (2111m). I feel lucky to be of our generation because after 100-200 years this mountain will be stripped of glaciers due to global worming.

Editing:
1,Clarify on the whole picture, curves on the clouds, increased brightness with curves on the persons.
2.Increased contrast with USM.
3.Resize, USM.

not quite sure this is 'candid'... Snow is a little grey...

Wow, they look so small against the vast surroundings

Okay, this looks like photos of Everest, and I know it's that climbing time of year, but surely not? Am looking forward to seeing where this was taken in your comments, however.

cool capture, looks a bit dark b/c the camera proably metered for the snow to be nuetral gray. Maybe use exposure composition to make up for the meter being thrown off. Congrats on the summit as well!

Mountain climbing?! That's crazy awesome. It looks like short sleeves though. Does this photo have any selective desaturation or is it full color. I assume it's full color due to the orange rope? Very nice.

In a candid, I would like to see a little more of the people and a little less of the background, good shot though

Contrast would help this alot because it would be nice to see the snow whiter

Not necessarily what would have imediately sprung to mind when I thought candid, but this works really well

If the snow were really white, this would have been interesting.

This doesn't seem like a candid to me, because the perspective makes it seem like you are part of the expedition. A candid photograph is by an outsider. It crosses a boundary. But nice composition.

Good candid.

This could use a bit of color adjustment. The white snow is quite gray.
